Warng: the story ntas yaoi (boyxboy, gay relatnships), 18+ scen so if you don't like or not mature enough to read, please do not ntue. Homophobia st a long shadow over Callum’s childhood.
“Gay”, “benr” and “faggot” were spat at him by classmat wh abandon; beaten up the changg rooms before PE, he was forced to change the cleaner’s cupboard stead.

But the thg is, Callum isn’t actually gay at all: he’s a straight man. That didn’t matter to his assailants – most of Callum’s iends were girls or those also treated as “outsts”, some of whom were “explorg their sexualy” as teenagers; he hated sport, and loved performg, discsg homophobia the ntext of straight men may seem like a distractn. “I feel really nflicted about now – even though I’m absolutely over the bullyg, I always feel like I was the victim of homophobic bullyg, ” Callum tells me.
ZO AND AANG IF YOU WERE GAY
“But how n a straight cis man be a victim of homophobia? ” Ined, he fears “validatg the experienc of those who are actually gay whenever I talk about this”. But there’s nothg validatg about his story at all, bee Callum was the victim of staed homophobic bullyg, and the same go for untls other straight men, too.
Their experienc aren’t outliers: they are key to unrstandg what homophobia actually I did a shout out for straight men to e forward wh their own experienc of homophobia, I was undated. “I had the sh beaten out of me at least once a week for beg gay, or a ‘poof’, or ‘bent’, ” says Matthew, a former choirboy. “If anythg was nsired outsi the ‘norm’, was nsired ‘gay’ when I was sendary school the noughti, ” says another.
“I ed to drs a somewhat gothic way: eyeler, black nail varnish, and I was on the receivg end of homophobic sults que a few tim. Even if you showed any form of affectn towards another man, was ‘gay’.

” Ined, acts of kdns are equently ced as provokg homophobic “but what about the straights? A distctn should be ma: homophobic bullyg is an existential qutn for a queer person a way isn’t for a straight person, bee beg abed for your actual inty tends to flict more psychologil harm. Whenever Robbie showed any re or kdns as a teenager at his high school, he suffered homophobic verbal and physil abe, which was pound by siar treatment om his stepfather.
Siarly, so many straight men are victims of homophobia bee is prcipally about policg the boundari of masculy, rather than repulsn towards gayns per se.
Queer men are normally the biggt sufferers of homophobic abe and vlence precisely bee they are seen to be the worst vlators of mascule norms.
